This costume wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for the help of three awesome ladies; s0nified, Pork Buns and Fantasy Ninja. Those three are the reason why this costume was able to happen.

s0nified is the one who styled the wig and made the jacket.
Pork Buns is the one who crafted the belts.
Fantasy Ninja is the one who made the Gunblade.

Everything else was store bought, or stuff I had from back in 2004.

Personal Thoughts:

Eight years. EIGHT GODDAMN YEARS. I've been wanting to cosplay Squall again ever since he was the first cosplay I did at my very first convention, Otakon 2004. I'll be honest; the first time I put this whole costume on, I got misty-eyed.
